    I’m impressed by the graffiti artist! That can’t have been easy.

  4. @Monala: Agreed!

    Well framed. Well processed. Good balance.

    Can’t say as I like the subject matter, but I am lacking context. I am pretty well dead set against graffiti on natural formations, but having never been to Bell Mountain, maybe it needed dressing up. I doubt it. Back in the day I used to go down to northern Georgia almost every year. It is beautiful there, and nothing I saw needed “improvement”.

    Not a critique of you Steven. I’ve taken lots of pictures of graffiti myself. And if god gives you lemons…

  6. @OzarkHillbilly: I get it. I can’t say that in favor of the graffiti, per se. I will say, however, that it makes the places unique and interesting visually. The whole place is covered. So I guess, from a photographer’s perspective, it increases my level of interest and made the location different.
